Cao Thief

Chapter 70 Sadness and joy (22)
Wang Mai has not changed much, but looks a little haggard.

Compared with before, the brows are less childish and more mature and stable.Wearing a black shawl, covered with an open robe.In his hand is an iron halberd and snake spear, which is placed across his chest, standing proudly, making people daunted...

"Afu!"

When Wang Mai saw Cao Peng clearly, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Uncle Mao, Uncle Mao... this is my own, my own!"

No one noticed that the moment Dianwei broke in, the old man Haoshou slid his footsteps forward and bowed slightly.Maybe it was because he looked a little stooped, so Dian Wei and others didn't notice his abnormality.It wasn't until Wang Mai shouted out that everyone noticed the old man.But at this time, the old man had returned to his previous half-dead appearance.

Cao Peng felt ecstasy in his heart.

He jumped down from the doorstep and walked a few steps, but Wang Mai suddenly turned his head and ran into the hall.

"Brother Tiger..."

Before Cao Peng finished speaking, Wang Mai shouted loudly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law... Ah Fu is back! I knew it, he will definitely come back!"

Another chill!
Cao Peng was stunned in place.

Brother-in-law?

Wang Mai is an only son!If he had a sister, it was Cao Nan.

Brother-in-law, could it be Deng Ji... He, isn't he dead?

But after thinking about it, Cao Peng thought it was normal again.Wang Mai is alive, and according to his stubborn temperament, he will definitely protect Deng Ji comprehensively.

As he was thinking about it, he saw Wang Mai walking out of the hall with the help of a pale young man.

He looked frail and slightly thinly clothed.He was dressed in a green shirt, which made him look quite elegant, but there was no blood on his face, and his white was a bit scary.

"Brother-in-law!"

"Deng Jiecong!"

Cao Peng and Wei Yan shouted at the same time.

Wei Yan's expression was even more horrified, and a gleam of hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Deng Ji is not dead, his old brothers, soldiers of Yiyang...

Cao Peng rushed to Deng Ji's body with three steps in parallel, stretched out his hands, and grabbed Deng Ji's arm.But with this grasp, he immediately sensed something was wrong.One of Deng Ji's sleeves was empty, but one arm was missing.

"Brother-in-law, your arm!"

Deng Ji didn't answer Cao Peng's question, stretched out his other hand, and gently rubbed Cao Peng's head, "Ah Fu, since you escaped, why did you come back?"

"I……"

The warmth surging in his heart made Cao Peng's nose sore and he almost shed tears.

"Brother-in-law, the incident happened because of me. If I don't come back, how is it different from a beast?"

"But you're back, and..."

Before Deng Ji could finish speaking, Wei Yan suddenly stepped forward and interrupted him.

He looked hopeful, and asked nervously: "Deng Jiecong..."

"General Wei Tun, are you okay?"

"I'm fine... I just want to ask, old Tang, Tang Ji and the others, how are they doing now?"

Deng Ji's expression darkened, and Wei Yan's heart suddenly sank.

"There was a great chaos in the setting sun that night. I was cut off with one arm and fell into a coma. Fortunately, Hutou rescued me with all his might. I just... I heard from Hutou that the entire camp was in chaos, and there were even many Yiyang camps. The military pawns were also involved. Dubo Tang defended the big banner of the pawns, and let Hutou take me away, and he was behind to cover...According to the situation at the time, Dubo Tang...had a lot of bad luck!"

The saddest thing in the world is when you have given up hope, but hope suddenly comes.

However, before that hope became a reality, it was shattered without a trace... Wei Yan immediately stood still, as if he was stupid.

Dian Wei and Xia Houlan also heard about Yiyang's soldiers on the way.

Seeing this situation, Dian Wei took a step forward, put his arm around Wei Yan's shoulder, and tightened it tightly, "Master Wen, don't imitate that little son and daughter. You and I will avenge the soldiers of Yiyang sooner or later. When we go back Afterwards, regroup. When the horse rides on Jingxiang, I will definitely send that treacherous child in front of you, and let you cut him into pieces...Cheer up, don’t let people look down on you, and make fun of us man!"

Wei Yan gritted his teeth, looked up to the sky and took a deep breath.

"Brother Dian, I'm fine!"

"A man can take it up and let it go, how much hatred we bury in our hearts, one day, we can repay it."

"Ok!"

Wei Yan nodded vigorously.

At this time, Deng Ji also noticed the existence of Dianwei and Xiahoulan.

He hurriedly said: "Ah Fu, please come into the house and talk... Uncle Ma, I am sorry to trouble you, drive the carriage and horses into the stable."

The old man Haoshou smiled, his skinny face twitched, giving people a strange feeling.

But seeing him trembling, he walked slowly towards the gate.With the support of Cao Peng, Deng Ji invited everyone into the hall.

The living room in Taoyuan is very simple, with a few couches and a half-height bed in the center.Deng Ji suspends his hand and invites everyone to sit down.

"Ah Fu, these good friends are..."

Before Cao Peng could speak, Dian Wei stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Deng Jiecong, I have admired his name for a long time. My name is Dian Wei, Ah Fu is my savior."

"I'm here, Xia Houlan!"

Deng Ji was taken aback, "Dian Wei?"

The ancient evil came and became famous all over the world.

Maybe many ordinary people don't know who Dian Wei is, but Deng Ji has been a subordinate for a long time, and most of the official documents in the past have to be processed by him. It is not uncommon to know Dian Wei's name.Who made Dianwei's reputation so famous that Puyang was famous all over the world in the First World War, and he also served as Cao Cao's Suwei. It is normal for him to be mentioned in official documents.It's just that Deng Ji failed to connect Dian Wei and evil all of a sudden.

After all, Dian Wei is Cao Cao's favorite general, and Cao Peng...

However, when Cao Peng saw Dianwei claiming his family name, he knew it was hard to hide it.

"It's under Mr. Cao's account, Colonel Wu Meng!"

"what?"

Deng Ji widened his eyes and stared at Dian Wei for a long while. A smile appeared on his pale face, "It turned out to be Captain Dian in person. My Ah Fu must have been in a lot of trouble these days... Excuse me. Deng Ji is not feeling well, so I can't be grateful, forgive me!"

Dian Wei said: "Why should Uncle Deng be so polite? Ah Fu is indeed my savior. These days, I delay him to take care of him so that Dian can survive. I often hear Wen Chang and Ah Fu mention you. When I saw you today, it was really extraordinary. Let us My own people, don't be polite anymore."

Deng Ji turned his head to look at Cao Peng, and saw Cao Peng nodded.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here, your arm was chopped off by that bastard?"

"That bastard has become the ghost of a tiger's head."

Deng Ji said, coughing lightly twice.

Then he raised his head and said to Wei Yan: "Failed to rescue Tang Dubo, and tired him... Deng Shusun, I am really ashamed of General Wei Tun."

Wei Yan smiled bitterly, "Uncle Sun, what time is it, and you are still so polite. I am no longer a Wei Tun general, and Yiyang soldiers no longer exist. If you think highly of me, call me Wenchang. On Age, you are older than me, you can just call me by my name, but please don’t mention the word Tunjiang again. Speaking of which, I also want to thank you brother, if it wasn’t for Ah Fu that day, I would have died long ago..."

The two sides talked about what happened that day in detail, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"If I hadn't been soft-hearted and let Ma Yu and others join in, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. At that time, Ah Fu blamed me for being soft-hearted, but I thought he was a bit too strict. But now it seems that Ah Fu was right. I What a stupid farmer!"

After all, Deng Ji shook his head lightly.

"Uncle Sun, I can't blame you for this matter. Even if you didn't intercede at the time, and Ma Yu hadn't sneaked in, there would have been Zhang Yu, Li Yu, Wang Yu... It's because I trusted Wei Ping too much. The outsiders colluded and murdered my brother. It was not brother Ah Fu who killed him. If it falls into my hands, he will be cut into pieces, otherwise I will not be able to dispel the hatred in my heart." Wei Yan couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

"It's a long story..." Deng Ji glanced at Cao Peng and patted him on the shoulder with his only remaining hand, "Thanks to Hutou, if it wasn't for him, I would be dead now live."

"Brother Tiger..."

Wang Mai stopped Cao Peng, "Ah Fu, don't talk about those birthrights. Didn't you say that there are two brothers in one life, and we are brothers. I just do my duty. I took my brother-in-law from the camp that day. After running wildly all night, Dahei was also exhausted by the side of the road. Fortunately, I met Mr. Zhongjing and saved my brother-in-law's life. If not, I would never have the face to see you again in my whole life..."

"Mr. Zhongjing?"

"It's Zhang Ji, Prefect Zhang!" Wang Mai said softly, "This Taoyuan is Mr. Zhang's residence. After he learned the identities of my brother-in-law and me, he arranged us here."

"So you didn't go home?"

Wang Mai's expression darkened, he shook his head, but did not speak.

An ominous sign suddenly appeared in Cao Peng's heart.

He grabbed Wang Mai's arm, "Brother Hutou, is there something wrong at home?"

"Afu!"

Deng Ji on the side opened his mouth and waved his hand to signal Cao Peng to calm down.At this time, Cao Peng's mind was in a mess, and his head was in a mess, and it almost turned into a pot of porridge.He took a deep breath, sat down beside Deng Ji, and tried to calm down, trying to calm himself down.

"After we settled down here, Hutou tried to cross the river to contact his parents and your sister. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Deng Fan on the road, saying that there were many strangers wandering around our house. Deng Cai came back again and Take over my position as Zuo Shi, and watch over the house."

"what!"

"The day before yesterday, news came from Deng Fan that County Magistrate Kuai brought people and took away your parents, as well as your sister. Now they are being held in Jiyang Prison."

Cao Peng's thin body trembled violently.

Teeth, bit his lip, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't seem to notice it at all.

"Ah Fu, I was discussing with my brother-in-law before, to break into the Jiyang Prison and welcome my uncle, aunt and sister..."

In an instant, Cao Peng understood the meaning of Deng Ji's previous words.

His parents and wife were arrested, and Deng Ji didn't want to live alone.He has made up his mind to go to prison, even if he dies, he will die with his family.But if Cao Peng didn't come back, he could still keep the blood of the Cao family.But now that he's back... What's the difference between sending him to his death?
No wonder, my brother-in-law said I shouldn't come back!

A surge of hot blood rushed straight to the top of his head.

The qi and blood in the internal organs vibrated, and the whole body seemed to be burned by flames.

Cao Peng stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and let out a roar to the sky.

"Huang She, I swear against you!"
